65. There's like a lot of strength to this cast.

66. - Yeah. - I'm hoping they're all ugly.

67. - I hope they don't touch none of my stuff,

68. 'cause you know, it's gonna go from RuPaul

69. to Bad Girl's Club real fast.

70. - They touch anything of yours, June,

71. we know it won't be tights.

72. I gotta get up out of this.

130. - A lot of people think I'm Latina,

131. but I'm actually Black and white.

132. - Oh okay, yes ma'am. - Yeah.

133. But honestly, the Latin community

134. has taken me under their wing.

135. - Yes ma'am. - It's a Bingo wing,

136. but it's a wing. - Yes!

137. - Oh this here is just the entry look.

138. I'm Jasmine Kennedie,

139. and I'm the ditzy doll of New York City.

140. Queens would definitely say my drag

141. is polished and pageantry as it could be.

142. - Bitch, she is stoned.

143. - My most impressive drag talent

144. is my dancing capability.

145. You ain't gotta worry about a dance challenge for me, mama.

158. - Bitch, you better dance the house down.

159. - Are you a dancer? - I am a dancer.

160. - Are you a dancer? - Oh yes, ma'am.

161. She's a dancing diva, too,

162. so that could be my biggest competition here,

163. not gonna lie.

164. Season 14. - Season 14, we're here.

165. And it looks like, by the looks of it,

166. some of the girls have already been here.

167. - I know. - Okay we got

168. some cute hair over there.

169. We got some chainsaws.

170. - Chainsaws?

171. - The way I'm planning on sticking out of the pack,

172. one, if it's not for my dance skills and my costume,

173. it's definitely gonna be with my personality,

174. and I'm so anxious, I cannot wait.

175. - You ready to pitch a tent, America?

176. The camp queen is here.

177. - Oh, she's on fire.

178. - My name is Maddy Morphosis,

179. and I am Arkansas' most beautiful

182. Funny, clever, witty.

183. - She's flame-broiled.

184. She's a burger queen.

185. - I am on fire

186. in this beautiful Guy Fieri inspired dress.

187. To my knowledge,

188. I'm the first cisgendered heterosexual man

189. to make it to Drag Race.

190. Hi queens.

191. - What's is your name?

192. - I'm Maddy Morphosis.

193. - Maddy Morphosis.

194. - Where are you from, babes?

195. - I'm from Fayetteville, Arkansas.

196. - I have some trade in Arkansas.

197. - Oh! - You nasty bitch.

198. - My condolences.

199. I'm sure a lot of these queens

200. have probably even never even met

201. a drag queen that was straight.

202. But, I don't feel the need to clarify my sexuality.

203. I really want the first impression

204. that the girls have of me

205. to be the content of my drag.

206. - How long does it take you to get ready?

207. - I just woke up like this.

208. - Oh yes ma'am. - Just a little chap stick.

209. Mascara. - Yes, ma'am.

210. My first impression of Maddy is very...

211. I wanna see what else you got.

212. - The name's Angeria,

213. but you can call me Angie.

214. Now let's make it shake, honey!

215. My name is Angeria Paris VanMichaels,

216. and I'm the southern belle from ATL.

217. Angeria is probably the most glamorous

218. country bumpkin that you will ever meet in your life.

219. I am loud, I am country,

220. but I am also very polished.

221. Yeah, I just look like a star everywhere I go, mm-hmm.

222. Hey ladies!

223. - You a padge girl?

224. - Yes I am a pageant girl. - Yes come on padge.

225. We're here to gag. - You can tell?

226. - Yes I can tell. - Oh how can you tell?

227. Old school pageant drag.

228. Old school music.

229. That's what I do, I'll ballad you to death.

230. - Oh my god. - Oh yeah.

231. I know how to really pull you in, and you know,

232. captivate a audience.

233. - I love that.

234. - I'm actually getting some really,

235. really good vibes, some good energy from the girls.

236. But I know they are looking at me like,

237. this bitch did not come here to play.

238. And they are absolutely right, 'cause I did not.

239. - Oh!

240. - Hello, you sexy bitches!

241. - Oh my god!

242. - I am Lady Camden,

243. and I am America's little Spice Girl.

244. Girl power.

245. I'm originally from Camdentown in North London,

246. and now I live in Sacramento.

247. - Is that bra edible?

248. - When I'm in drag,

249. I sort of live in my 90s pop princess fantasy.

250. There's always something that's a little tacky,

251. but just tacky enough.

252. Oh my god. - Oh my god.

253. - I know DeJa from back home.

254. We've performed together.

255. What the fuck are you doing here?

256. - I'm saying!

257. - I am so surprised to see her here.

258. I mean, we just haven't had a lot of

259. North California representation.

260. Work.

261. - What's your type of drag.

262. - I'm sort of like the sixth member of the Spice Girls.

263. - Old Spice.

264. - Old Spice?

265. - I'm Country Spice, it's nice to meet you.

266. - Country Spice, I love that.

267. Where are you from?

268. - I'm from Sparta, Georgia,

269. but I live in Atlanta.

270. - Oh that accent,

271. it's just really getting my nipples hard.

272. - We can like, find us a room,

273. and just talk to each other all day.

274. - Okay.

275. - You Betty be ready!

276. Woo!

277. I'm Daya Betty,

278. and I am your mid-Missouri grunge punk rock girl.

279. - It's kinda giving me Pikachu a little bit.

280. - Oh my god.

281. - My drag is really inspired

282. by the 80s grunge movement, early 90s.

283. Daya's a rock star,

284. and she's the rock star's girlfriend,

285. shoved together with a safety pin shoved through it.

286. - What is your name?

287. - I'm Daya Betty.

288. - Daya Betty! You're beautiful.

289. - Oh my gosh, Maddy?

290. - Daya.

291. - Oh my gosh, how are you? - Good!

292. - Maddy Morphosis, my Midwest sister.

293. I've kind of hung out with her just a couple times,

294. I've seen her at the club.

295. There is a lot that she has to show us.

296. A lot.

297. Are you Jorgeous? - Yes, ma'am!

298. - Oh my god, my boyfriend is obsessed with you.

299. - Oh my god, I'm a mess, I promise.

300. - I'm pretty sure that you're his favorite drag queen.

301. - Oh, it's so nice to meet you, mama.

302. - Daya Betty is giving me somebody else,

303. but I cannot figure out for the life of me

304. who she is giving.

305. - I have a feeling you're related

306. to someone who's been on here before, right?

307. - I am, yes.

308. Crystal Methyd.

309. - We don't say "Drag Mom" because it ages her,

310. but we're all kind of a little edgy, a little punk.

311. Everything we do, crafty, a little handmade.

312. - Ooh, girl!

313. She done already done had herses.

314. - Oh my god a message! - Oh my god!

315. - Hold on, I'm coming! - Oh my gosh.

316. - Welcome, queens.

317. The Werk Room has already been entered,

318. but it's not about when you start,

319. it's about how long you last.

320. So put some motion in your ocean,

321. and let's get it on!

322. Hello hello hello!

323. - RuPaul walks into the door,

324. and I swear to god she is just glowing.

325. My mom always said it's not polite to stare,

326. but I can't help it.

327. - Welcome to the second premiere

328. of RuPaul's Drag Race, officially.

329. - Yes, mother!

330. - First, I want to thank your mamas,

331. your drag mamas, the bullies at school,

332. and everybody who helped make you

333. the strong queen you are today.

334. - Yeah.

335. - 'Cause you gonna need all that strength and more

336. as you compete in the biggest, baddest,

337. drag competition on the planet.

338. - Yes!

339. - Now last week, we got to know seven of your competitors.

340. And I asked one of them to sashay away.

341. - She tells us that a queen has already gone.

342. That has a bit of a twist.

343. - And by the end of tomorrow,

344. I'll be asking one of you to sashay away as well.

345. - The reality is someone's already gone.

346. This shit is serious.

347. Like, we're getting right into the competition.

348. I'm just like, please let me get out of this alive.

349. - So I hope y'all hungry.

350. To win!

351. 'Cause your country breakfast is ready, girl.

352. Let's go.

353. Coming up.

354. - Ooh, Tic Tacs, oh.

355. - Something's off...

356. This is really not what I asked for.

357. - What did I do? What's going on?

358. - DeJa Skye, hello darling.

359. - Hi.

360. - Say hello to celebrity photographer Albert Sanchez.

361. - Hi. - Now,

362. the goal of this competition

363. is to make it all the way through

364. to the Tic Tac lunch.

365. - Yes.

366. - So, for your very first mini challenge,

367. I want you to pose with this bowl of Tic Tacs.

368. Can you do that?

369. - I absolutely can.

370. - Good, make a purdy picture.

371. - Ooh, Tic Tac.

372. Oh...

373. - Wait a minute.

374. I don't know what it is,

375. but DeJa, something's off with the whole...

376. - I'm freaked out 'cause I'm like, what did I do?

377. Is it a bad angle?

378. What's going on?

379. - This is really not what I asked for, Albert.

380. I thought we talked about an abundance of Tic Tacs.

381. I mean, we had that conversation.

382. - Yeah.

383. - You call this an abundance of Tic Tacs?

384. I want an abundance of Tic Tacs!

385. Why do I have to do everything around here?

386. Why I

387. Why?

388. - Oh my god, it's everywhere.

389. - I need you to move that bitch

390. of a bearing wall,

391. and put a giant bowl of Tic Tacs

392. where a giant bowl of Tic Tacs ought to be.

393. Move it!

394. - She moves the wall,

395. oh, and all I see is this bowl

396. of a thousand, million, bazillion Tic Tacs.

397. And right next to it, the Pit Crew.

398. Oh!

399. - Now that's an abundance of Tic Tacs.

400. DeJa.

401. Let's go.

402. Alright, now DeJa Skye.

403. You need to serve face,

404. and pose the house down.

405. Ooh, yes. - Oh, oh.

406. - I like the way you think.

407. Ooh, I'm getting quite the DeJa view.

408. - Let me go this way.

409. - Oh, yeah.

410. Luxuriate, yes.

411. - I'm just rolling like rotisserie chicken.

412. There's no way to feel sexy in this moment.

413. - Just keep in mind the shadow.

414. You want to work the light.

415. - Got it.

416. Was that good?

417. - What's your sleep number, DeJa?

418. Angeria.

419. - Okay, am I getting in?

420. - Yes!

421. - I'm getting in, but no heels.

422. Oh, there I go.

423. - Ooh, what are people at church gonna say?

424. Yes, Miss Black Atlanta.

425. - Ooh, wait a minute.

426. It's Tic Tacs in my hair,

427. Tic Tacs in my titties.

428. Tic Tacs in my.

429. - Welcome to Angeria,

430. the land of orange diamonds.

431. This ain't Wakanda.

432. This is Angeria!

433. Looking good and feeling Jorgeous.

434. - Yes ma'am, mama!

435. - Now, since this is a Tic Tac breakfast,

436. I'm gonna ask you some questions.

437. You respond with your face and body language only.

438. - Okay. - What's your favorite

439. Britney Spears song?

440. "Oops! I Did It Again."

441. How does the Pit Crew make you feel

442. in between me down there?

443. - Oh.

444. - Gracias.

445. Oh, Jasmie Kennedie.

446. Oh, fling that hair, yes!

447. Look at those cheek bones.

448. You could cut somebody with those things.

449. Answer with your pose, okay?

450. Who's your favorite movie star?

451. Charlize Theron?

452. Milton Berle?

453. You must have gone to the Barbazon School of Modeling.

454. Maddy Morphosis, yes!

455. Tic Tacs are a girl's best friend.

456. These Tic Tacs have always brought me luck.

457. Nice.

458. - I think I found something.

459. - What is it you...

460. That is Santino's hat!

461. He has been texting me for years about that hat.

462. It's been in the bowl of Tic Tacs the whole time!

463. - What?

464. - Ooh yes.

465. Model.

466. Daya Betty.

467. Ooh, show me shy pussy.

468. Shyer.

469. Oh.

470. Now, show me not so shy pussy.

471. - At this point, I just know

472. I look like a newborn horse.

473. I don't know what I'm serving, to be honest.

474. - Ooh!

475. That's some bridge and tunnel pussy.

476. Oh my goodness, Lady Camden.

477. Do you know where those Tic Tacs have been?

478. - I've got a sweet tooth, darling.

479. - It's Tic Tac ecstasy!

480. - Ooh yeah, Tic Tac, paddy whack,

481. give a bitch a bone!

482. Oh yes!

483. - Alright darling, I think we got it.

484. - Thanks guys.

485. - Whoa, the mother load!

486. My queens.

487. In the Tic Tac photo shoot,

488. one of you left my mouth feeling minty fresh.

489. Which is kind of odd,

490. because the Tic Tacs are orange flavored.

491. The winner of today's mini challenge is...

492. Angeria!

493. - Oh my god!

494. It was very important to me

495. to make a really good first impression on Ru.

496. So, pats on the back for Angie.

497. - You've won $2500 courtesy of JJ Malibu.

498. - Yes, girl!

499. - Now, my fair lady-kins,

500. for your very first maxi challenge,

501. I'm putting you in the Charisma, Nerve, and Talent Show.

502. Where the only thing that's missing is U.

503. This is your chance to show the world

504. you are the queen to beat.

505. - Right.

506. - Racers, start your engines,

507. and may the best drag queen win!

508. - Baby, I am so excited.

509. We get the chance to show why we were cast,

510. and bitch, I'm ready to kick, split,

511. and let these judges eat it!

512. - Coming up.

513. You have made history

514. being our first straight contestant.

515. - Wait what?

516. - Let me move in so I can get out of this shit.

517. - It is time to de-drag, and honey,

518. I want to see what mens live up under this drag.

519. - I want to see who's the trade of the season.

520. - Oh, you're the trade of the season, miss thing.

521. - I found two more Tic Tics.

522. - Tic Tacs everywhere.

523. - Tic Tacs still falling out, oh yeah.

524. - I look over at Angeria and I'm like, girl.

525. She's way, like, cuter and quirkier than I pictured her.

526. - Oh my gosh.

527. - I was not expecting DeJa to look like that

528. out of drag, honestly.

529. She looked like one of my tios.

530. - Uncle Fester's here, everybody.

531. - Hi Uncle Fester!

532. - Look at you! - Hello.

533. - Who is this?

534. How you doing?

535. - I'm just passing through.

536. Don't pay me no nevermind.

537. - Maddy is looking like a farmer.

538. Looks like she owns cattle,

539. and bulls, and goats and things.

540. Y'all look so different.

541. You never know how much makeup you have on

542. until you get out of it.

543. - Where's Jasmine? - What?

544. - Look at my titties.

545. - I want to see your titties!

546. Oh you should see her.

547. - I've just never touched real boobies before.

548. - Are you a gold star, Camden?

549. - Yeah. - Who's a gold star?

550. Are you a gold star gay?

551. - I don't know, I might be.

552. I'm not sure what it is. - Do you know what it is?

553. A gold star is somebody

554. that hasn't had sex with the opposite sex.

555. - You've never slept with a woman.

556. - Oh, I can't be a gold star.

557. I wasn't always this gay.

558. - We're not gold stars.

559. - Okay, and Maddy's not a gold star, either.

560. - I'm not a gold-

561. - Yeah.

562. I know that Maddy identifies as a straight male.

563. I don't think this is anything

564. that's happened on Drag Race history before,

565. and when she does bring it up,

566. the girls are gonna be shook.

567. - Hey queens.

568. I see you've all moved in.

569. - Yes!

570. - Now I've come to collect the rent.

571. - Oh fuck.

572. - Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

573. That's a bougie name, girl.

574. - Is it? - You know it is.

575. - It ain't bougie at all.

576. - Where does that name come from?

577. - It came from a girl I went to college with.

578. She was real pretty. - Uh huh.

579. - And I was like, I want your name.

580. But her name was Angera.

581. - Angera. - Yeah.

582. - And you changed it to Angeria.

583. - 'Cause in the south,

584. when you want the name to sound more special,

585. you add a I in front of the A.

586. - Oh.

587. So now, what's your talent?

588. - I am doing original track.

589. - Original track. - Yeah.

590. - Will my ears bleed?

591. - I don't think so.

592. - Do you know how to sing? - Yes.

593. - Because you grew up in the church.

594. - I grew up in the church,

595. and I sung in the choir.

596. - Being from the Midwest,

597. we do have a lot of pageant girls.

598. And so, those are the girls that intimidate me.

599. The girls that are really put together.

600. - So I'm gonna let you go,

601. but I could talk to you all day.

602. - And Ru just laughs at everything Angeria says.

603. So keeping an eye on her.

604. - Alright Daya Betty, come on over.

605. - Hi Ru. - Hi honey.

606. I wanted to ask you, how'd you get that name?

607. - 'Cause I'm diabetic.

608. Type one, not type two.

609. - How does that affect you in your daily life?

610. - So, if I do any like, crazy activities,

611. like I'll be doing here,

612. I'll just have to check my blood sugar more.

613. - And if it's too low, will you pass out?

614. - I will do a unwanted death drop.

615. - Well, we'll be on the lookout.

616. - Yes. - So, what's your talent?

617. - I'm gonna be doing a lip sync,

618. with a little- - Wait a minute, a lip sync?

619. - I know, revolutionary. - On a drag show?

620. - I know, crazy, right? - That's crazy.

621. Is it to your own song?

622. - No, it's to Pink's "Get The Party Started."

623. - Okay, well what do you think

624. you lip syncing Pink will let us know about you?

625. - That song in particular,

626. it's just about having fun, and you know, doing you.

627. - Yeah, but what does it say about Daya Betty?

628. - It says that she's a little edgy, you know,

629. but she also knows she knows she can send the party.

630. - Yeah, no, I'm just saying that the judges

631. will ask that.

632. This is the first time we get to know you.

633. How does that inform us who you are?

634. But you know, we'll see.

635. - Ru doesn't really seem too impressed

636. that my talent's lip syncing.

637. - Alright.

638. - So it's gotta be the best lip sync Ru's ever seen,

639. or I'm gonna be in trouble.

640. - Alright, Lady Camden.

641. - Hello.

642. - Now, I can tell you're a dancer.

643. How old were you when you started dancing?

644. - I was always dancing in my bedroom

645. to the Spice Girls as a little gay boy,

646. but I started doing ballet classes and stuff at like 12.

647. - So, what's your talent?

648. Is it going to be dance?

649. - It is going to be dance.

650. - Uh huh.

651. - I'm gonna bring a mix of classical ballet

652. with some more of the dancing

653. that I've evolved into now.

654. - Oh, you know what?

655. I've gone to the ballet maybe once or twice,

656. and remember I didn't enjoy it.

657. Because it was just boring, you know, to me.

658. - Oh my god.

659. I don't want Ru to fall asleep during my number.

660. Have I picked the wrong thing to do for him?

661. - Listen, we're looking for elevated.

662. Give it the old Lady Camden twist.

663. - Okay, I will.

664. - Alright, thank you darling. - Thank you, Ru.

665. - Alright DeJa Skye, come on over.

666. - Hi, Ru. - Hi DeJa.

667. I am so happy you're here.

668. You know, because your audition reel

669. was one that I really really enjoyed.

670. - Really? - Because you know,

671. you're an old, you're an old-

672. - She called me old. - No, now, no.

673. You didn't let me finish the sentence.

674. You're an old school queen that I really enjoy.

675. So now what's your talent?

676. - So I'm gonna teach you

677. how to be a cheerleader in three easy steps.

678. - Okay, so what does this cheerleading routine

679. tell us about you?

680. - It's kinda my sense of humor.

681. And it also is very much my background.

682. Besides a drag queen,

683. I'm actually a choreographer for cheer and dance.

684. - Wow, I'm actually looking forward to that.

685. - I think DeJa is gonna be my competition

686. because I'm also a cheerleader,

687. and I want to see how she makes it a comedic relief.

688. - Thank you.

689. - Where I'm incorporating back hand springs, round kicks.

690. Like, who doesn't love to see a girl do that,

691. and break into a split.

692. - Maddy Morphosis.

693. - Hi Ru.

694. - Now, I don't hear a southern accent.

695. - No, I'm from Arkansas,

696. but I try to not be as Arkansas as humanly possible.

697. - What is your talent?

698. - I'm gonna play guitar.

699. - Live music? - Yes.

700. - Very risky.

701. You know, here, it's gotta be something special.

702. You know, if you do a straight, "I'm doing something

703. that is just everyday normal thing,"

704. it's gotta have kind of a twisted edge where we go,

705. "Oh my goodness."

706. Just make it special.

707. Now, you have made history

708. being our first straight contestant.

709. - Wait what?

710. - Right.

711. - Whoa, Maddy is straight?

712. - Now, are you afraid that when you leave here,

713. you won't be straight?

714. - No. - What?

715. - A straight drag queen.

716. Wow, that's something new.

717. - So, how did you get into drag?

718. - I grew up watching "To Wong Foo" with my grandma,

719. and that kinda put the bug in my head.

720. And I developed an interest in fashion

721. and makeup and stuff.

722. But that's not something you can express

723. when you grow up in population 1200 Lincoln.

724. - Right.

725. - And so like, when I got out of high school,

726. and moved to a slightly bigger city,

727. where it just happened to have drag shows,

728. and I just did it.

729. - And you had the cheek bones.

730. - And I had the cheek bones.

731. - I'm so impressed with you. - Thank you.

732. - Because you are someone who says, "You know what?

733. That interests me, I'm gonna get into it."

734. And you're gonna go very far in this life.

735. - Thank you. - Let's hope you go

736. very far in this competition.

737. - To have Ru tell me that

738. makes me feel a lot more validated.

739. It just feels almost like, a weight off my shoulders.

740. I think this is like a community of people

741. that is built around love and acceptance.

742. - Alright, thank you. - Thank you, Ru.

743. But I just have this little nervous thing of, you know,

744. what if there's one person that's not down with it,

745. that's not okay with it.

746. There have been a couple, like,

747. negative opinions here and there,

748. and I'm really worried that a negative opinion

749. might be in this room.

750. - Alright, gather around, queens.

751. Now tomorrow, joining us will be

752. our extra special guest judge.

753. The amazing Alicia Keys.

754. - Alicia Keys!

755. I love Alicia Keys.

756. - Oh, and last but not least,

757. a friendly reminder.

758. That by the end of tomorrow,

759. I'll be asking one of you to sashay away.

760. So whatever you do, don't fuck it up.

761. Coming up.

762. - Hey queens.

763. - What? - Huh?

764. - What?

765. - Oh my god, we did it.

766. - Today's the day we're performing

767. our talent in front of the judges.

768. And I'm trying so hard to just stay focused.

769. But it's hard not to get really nervous

770. because RuPaul is gonna be there,

771. looking at me with her eyeballs!

772. Like, what?

773. - How long does it usually take everyone

774. to do their makeup?

775. - I can do it in like 45, if I really need to.

776. - I'm normally like a three hour.

777. - Three hours?

778. - But I can do it for like an hour and a half or so.

779. - Because I've been doing this for so many years,

780. I've seen plenty of queens.

781. I'm just gagged that Maddy is straight.

782. I don't know any straight drag queens.

783. It's crazy to me that you identify as straight.

784. - Oh god, here we go.

785. I do, yeah.

786. I mean, honestly, like,

787. it's not something that I lead with,

788. because it's something I don't want

789. other people to base their opinion

790. around my sexuality first.

791. Might be a fun fact,

792. but I don't want it to be

793. what everyone thinks of. - Defines you.

794. - I've never met a straight drag queen before.

795. To be a fully fledged drag queen,

796. and be straight is like, crazy to me.

797. It kinda makes me have mad respect for her.

798. Maddy respect for her.

799. Because you've gotta be really comfortable

800. with your heterosexuality to be able to like,

801. tuck all that shit back, put on a wig,

802. and gack gitty gack.

803. Like that's like, good for you babes, you know?

804. - I have never met another straight drag queen before.

805. And I think a big part of it is just 'cause like,

806. guys are like, so worried about expressing femininity,

807. or being seen, yeah. - Toxic masculinity.

808. - Or even like, being scared of people

809. thinking that they're gay.

810. Growing up in Arkansas, whenever I was younger,

811. I thought it was illegal to be gay.

812. I didn't even know.

813. I didn't know a single gay person.

814. But then like, seeing people like,

815. moving to a bigger city and seeing people

816. just living their authentic lives,

817. and just like, not worrying about what people think of them.

818. And it just made me realize that

819. I can live my own life like that too.

820. We only have one life to live. - One life to live.

821. You better live it authentically.

822. - I think it's sickening that Maddy is a heterosexual man

823. from a small town in the South,

824. and wants to be a sickening drag queen all at the same time.

825. I mean hey, nobody ever said it couldn't be done.

826. - How's everyone feeling

827. knowing we're gonna get to walk down the runway

828. for the first time?

829. Hopefully nobody trips.

830. - Hey queens.

831. - What? - Huh?

832. - Guys, it's Alicia!

833. - Oh my god! - Hi!

834. - Is that? No.

835. No.

836. - Woo!

837. When you talk about dreams coming true, child,

838. like, it is literally a dream for me

839. to meet Alicia Keys.

840. - Hi! - hi!

841. - I just wanted you to know

842. that I'm so excited,

843. and I'm so proud of you.

844. And I can't believe we're together!

845. And we're gonna show them what it is!

846. The reason why you inspire me

847. is because I feel like we should not hold back.

848. We should be able to be as bold

849. and as brave and as big

850. and as powerful as we want to be.

851. So don't let anybody hold you back.

852. This is your time.

853. This is your moment.

854. And you are going to show everyone

855. just how special and amazing you are.

856. So go smash the whole situation!

857. - After talking to Alicia Keys,

858. I feel good, but I am nervous,

859. because I know that someone is going home.

860. And baby, there's only seven of us.

861. So I just want to make sure that my talent

862. stands out enough to keep me in the number.

863. 'Cause baby, listen,

864. I didn't come here to be the first girl out.

865. - Working.

866. - Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race.

867. Michelle Visage.

868. Now, are you ready to meet seven new queens?

869. - Woo, baby, I've had my vaccine,

870. so bring 'em on!

871. - Style superstar Carson Kressley.

872. Now Carson, what does CNT mean to you?

873. - Carson Never Tops.

874. - And our extra special guest judge,

875. Alicia Keys!

876. - Hey!

877. - Now, are you in a Drag Race state of mind?

878. - Such a Drag Race state of mind.

879. I'm ready, and I'm so glad to be here.

880. - You know, we are so thrilled that you're here,

881. and in your honor,

882. I decided to not wear any makeup tonight.

883. - You know what?

884. You are stunning every way.

885. - Racers, start your engines.

886. And may the best drag queen win!

887. Coming up.

888. Welcome to the CNT's.

889. Yes, bitch!

890. - Eh?

891. - I want to welcome you to the CNT's.

892. First up, Jorgeous.

893. - Jorgeous is looking so sexy right now.

894. And miss thing is blown back, honey,

895. for the 99 and 2000.

896. She looks sickening. ♪ Like it's our last dance

897. - Holy shit.

898. Jorgeous is knee high to a grasshopper,

899. but she is fucking up this stage right now.

900. - Yes bitch! Yes bitch!

901. Yes bitch! Yes!

902. Up next, it's Jasmine Kennedie.

903. That bitch knows how to throw her legs up like nothing.

904. - When Jasmine does that back flip

905. in six inch heels.

906. Okay, she came here to fucking work.

907. - This party's just getting started

908. with Daya Betty.

909. - Daya, um, yeah.

910. I feel like I'm watching a clown at a birthday party.

911. And I mean that in the best way.

912. I mean that in the best way,

913. because that's what she's going for, I think.

914. - Up next, Lady Camden.

915. - Ru told Lady Camden to be kinda careful

916. because ballet can be a bit boring.

917. But I think she's doing it really well,

918. and she's letting her personality shine.

919. - Next up, it's DeJa Skye.

920. - Well howdy.

921. I'm cheer captain DeJa,

922. and I'm here to show you

923. how anyone can be a cheerleader

924. in three easy steps.

925. Step number one,

926. what we're gonna do is hands on hips,

927. and smiles on those lips.

928. I want you to smile as big as when

929. they restock the buffet.

930. Step number two is a jump.

931. Now, if you're like me,

932. gravity is not my friend.

933. Just get off the ground as much as you can.

934. Let's go.

935. Okay, thank you.

936. - Eh?

937. I don't know, girl.

938. She's doing something.

939. - Now the third and final step

940. is a geriatric cartwheel.

941. If you have bad knees, stay close to the ground, okay?

942. Hands up and hopefully you get around.

943. - Hey!

944. - You ready to put it all together?

945. - Yeah. - Hit it!

946. - I think for a talent show,

947. they just wanted like a yay, you know?

948. - Thank you so much.

949. - And it's sort of a bit like,

950. - Here's a helping of the blues

951. with Maddy Morphosis.

952. - Maddy obviously knows what she is doing with this guitar,

953. however, hmm...

954. Little boring, a little bit.

955. - And now, Angeria Paris VanMichaels, ugh!

956. - If it's drag you want,

957. then I've got lots of it.

958. - Hey.

959. - Where is she going?

960. - Okay smoke! - Yes!

961. - Here's the thing.

962. Sometimes drag queens record songs and you're like,

963. you just shouldn't have done that.

964. - Get your life, bitch!

965. - But is Angie succeeding right now?

966. Check.

967. - Coming up.

968. - This look is like body-ody-ody!

969. - You should really hold your head high.

970. Category is sickening signature drag.

971. Up first, Jorgeous.

972. Purple train, purple train.

973. - Take that, Sheila E.

974. - I'm wearing this gorgeous gown,

975. with my hair slicked back.

976. And bam. - Hey, hey!

977. - I'm a showgirl, bitch.

978. So I always have to be ready to do a number.

979. - Clearly, she's stoned.

980. - Yes, come on, cat suit!

981. DeJa Skye.

982. Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Lace.

983. - This look represents me to the fullest

984. because I am showing every swerve and curve

985. if this big billowy body.

986. I look at Alicia and she just goes-

987. - Yes!

988. - It's curtains for her.

989. - They call her Sleeve-y Wonder.

990. - Jasmine Kennedie.

991. Listen, hon, you're gonna put somebody's eyes out

992. with those things.

993. - I decided to go with something gold,

994. and I have my titties out.

995. I have a little applique to show them

996. that I do what? Drag.

997. - Gorge Washington.

998. I'll do it better.

999. Gorge W. Bush.

1000. - Maddy Morphosis.

1001. What! - Oh my gosh!

1002. - I really like the neck line on this.

1003. - Yeah, it's really good.

1004. - I am giving a signature

1005. Maddy Morphosis look, from neck to toe.

1006. In this beautiful Marie Antoinette number,

1007. I'm like tossing my head around like a prop.

1008. - What?

1009. - It's campy, it's stupid.

1010. But it's also beautiful.

1011. - Ladies and gentlemen, Guillotina Turner.

1012. - Chin up, sweetie.

1013. - I'm coming down with a case

1014. of Angeria Paris VanMichaels.

1015. Come on, Sparta, Georgia.

1016. - This is my first time,

1017. and I'm feeling fine like wine.

1018. My dress is wine.

1019. When you think of Angeria,

1020. I want you to think of pure pageant glamor,

1021. from my head to my toes, bitch.

1022. - Yes!

1023. Burgundy-licious.

1024. - Time to get the party sparted.

1025. Okay, that was a stretch.

1026. - That was rotten.

1027. Lady Camden.

1028. - Oh my god,

1029. she just pea-cock blocked me.

1030. - My look is inspired

1031. by Camdentown raver girls back in the 90s.

1032. I love to be bold with my drag,

1033. and always something that is a little bit of a surprise.

1034. - Hey, pa! - Oh!

1035. - I'm here to let you know

1036. I'm about to take flight,

1037. even though I don't know

1038. if people can actually fly.

1039. They do fly!

1040. So I'm here to fly, okay, great.

1041. - What's her mating call?

1042. - I don't know.

1043. - Daya Betty.

1044. - Yes.

1045. - I'm sorry,

1046. Daya Betty can't come to the phone right now.

1047. She's all tied up.

1048. - I'm hobbling down the runway in my hobble dress.

1049. The fact that the entire outfit

1050. is held to my body by ribbons

1051. is so dainty and scary at the same time.

1052. I feel like I am serving it.

1053. - It's ribbon, for your pleasure.

1054. - Oh, thank you for considering.

1055. - There's a ribbon in the sky

1056. for her drag.

1057. - Coming up.

1058. - Love this! It was so good!

1059. - I almost slipped a disc just watching it.

1060. - You stood out.

1061. I'm not sure if it was for all the right reasons.

1062. - Welcome, queens.

1063. It's time for the judges' critiques.

1064. Up first, Jorgeous.

1065. - I just have to say, just Jorgeous!

1066. - Oh, thank you.

1067. - I love the stones on the mesh,

1068. I love all those different amethyst tones.

1069. The makeup is like, air brushed.

1070. - What I loved about you is your energy.

1071. I do think the song choice,

1072. it was a lot of standing and just doing this

1073. before we got into it.

1074. For you, I think your plan of attack

1075. should always be right out the gate.

1076. - As a performer, I felt confidence from you

1077. that just did not quit.

1078. I just love and I live.

1079. - Is that a number you perform

1080. in your night club act?

1081. - Oh yes, I legit, ever since that song came out,

1082. legit ever since I was 16,

1083. I've been performing it ever since.

1084. - Every time you mention how young you are,

1085. I'm gonna take marks off.

1086. - Oh my gosh, no, no please!

1087. - Legit.

1088. - Up next, DeJa Skye.

1089. - This number, on the runway,

1090. I love that color.

1091. Cerulean.

1092. Oh my gosh, I didn't even realize.

1093. I'm wearing it too!

1094. Job well done on the runway look.

1095. - Thank you.

1096. - Your routine was brave,

1097. because you wanted to do something different.

1098. We saw a lot of lip syncing tonight.

1099. And you stood out.

1100. I'm not sure if it was for all the right reasons.

1101. Because it really wasn't funny.

1102. - We're doing a drag show.

1103. You know, just don't give it to me straight.

1104. Give it to me a little bit from the side,

1105. a little bit from behind.

1106. Well, a whole lot from behind.

1107. - A lot.

1108. - And then hit me over the head with it.

1109. Up next, Jasmine Kennedie.

1110. - The dance number, you were doing, like,

1111. ice skating maneuvers.

1112. Like a triple sow cow

1113. or a half Charles Nelson Reilly.

1114. - Ha! - You were in the air,

1115. spinning around and like,

1116. this bitch doesn't even have skates on!

1117. How did you make that happen?

1118. That was beautiful.

1119. - You're a pageant girl. - Yes.

1120. - I have two words for you, the queen.

1121. You're giving us 60s drag.

1122. And I love it.

1123. - This look is like body-ody-ody!

1124. I was like, my god, what is happening?

1125. - Sorry, I'm just focused on your two tig old bitties.

1126. You look like Edie Williams from

1127. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,

1128. and Alyssa Edwards had a baby. - Yeah.

1129. - And here she is.

1130. I love it.

1131. - Thank you so much.

1132. - Up next, Maddy Morphosis.

1133. - Hi.

1134. - This is something I've never seen

1135. on the main stage before.

1136. It's so stupid.

1137. Even though it's a costume,

1138. it's full on crazy drag.

1139. Like, I love this.

1140. I can see that you need some help with your makeup.

1141. Just little tweaks here and there

1142. is gonna help you go a long way.

1143. - But this is really fun.

1144. You should really hold your head high.

1145. Or right there at your waist.

1146. - I was so happy to hear you play the blues.

1147. I was like, oh, got some taste and some vibe and some zone.

1148. - Did you play the electric guitar with your tongue?

1149. - I did, yeah.

1150. - That was like a bonus talent.

1151. But I wasn't really sure what was happening.

1152. So I would say, work the camera,

1153. work your audience, invite us in.

1154. - You gotta have more of an angle in a drag show.

1155. Had you played the guitar with your penis,

1156. then we'd be talking a different story.

1157. I'm hearing in, oh, we've been canceled.

1158. Okay, is my Uber here?

1159. Next up, Angeria.

1160. - This runway look,

1161. you're giving us Atlanta G-A-Y pageant perfection.

1162. - I love this dress.

1163. It is so Miss Dominique Devereux.

1164. - Yes.

1165. - Thank you.

1166. - Call me Angie?

1167. Call me an ambulance.

1168. I almost slipped a disc just watching it.

1169. At the end where you did that perfect death drop.

1170. - I was like, oh my god, I love this!

1171. It was so good!

1172. It's sometimes very tricky to do original songs,

1173. but that was a good one right there.

1174. You did that.

1175. - I don't mean to get emotional or nothing,

1176. but the female vocalist

1177. that's always lived inside of me

1178. has always been inspired by you.

1179. Always, always. - Oh my god, I love it.

1180. - So this just feels amazing. - Thank you.

1181. - Up next, Lady Camden.

1182. - You came out and you said, I'm a ballerina,

1183. but I'm gonna toss my ballet shoes away.

1184. I'm gonna do ballet the drag way.

1185. That was fabulous.

1186. - This look tonight is adorable.

1187. I love the tail.

1188. - I definitely can see all of your personality.

1189. Nothing else looks like how you look.

1190. It is like a favorite Pokemon character.

1191. So I think that we're in for like a really good time

1192. when we're hanging with you.

1193. - Thank you so much, Alicia. - Absolutely, well done.

1194. - Up next, Daya Betty.

1195. - This look has a very like, English, punk kind of vibe.

1196. We did notice that the back, it's poppin',

1197. but it's for the wrong reasons.

1198. It's ripped.

1199. - I'm taking a guess here

1200. that you are in the Crystal Methyd family.

1201. - Oh yes, I am. - Because I could see it

1202. in your face. - Woo!

1203. - You were another lip sync.

1204. It was pretty kind of lackluster.

1205. We lip sync for your life here every week.

1206. You'll have to do something

1207. that's gonna make us gag.

1208. - You did a good job.

1209. But I didn't get enough of your personality from it.

1210. I still don't quite know who you are.

1211. And that's really the purpose of the talent show.

1212. Thank you, ladies.

1213. I think we've heard enough.

1214. While you untuck in the Werk Room,

1215. the judges and I will deliberate.

1216. Alright, now just between us squirrel friends,

1217. what do you think?

1218. Let's start with Jorgeous.

1219. - I think this one is gonna sway us

1220. with her personality.

1221. She feels every bit of herself in drag.

1222. Everything she does has a flourish.

1223. Everything has a, uh uh, I'm fab.

1224. - Maybe her lip singing could have been

1225. a little bit tighter.

1226. But I think she's a fearless performer.

1227. I really like her.

1228. - DeJa Skye.

1229. - I was very excited when I saw her walk out,

1230. and you know, giving us a cheer routine.

1231. I love "Bring It On."

1232. But, brr, it's cold in here.

1233. There are no jokes in this atmosphere.

1234. - Tonight's performance did not land.

1235. - Oh!

1236. - Jasmine Kennedie.

1237. - Jasmine is phenomenal.

1238. And I get a sense of hunger from her.

1239. - Jasmine Kennedie is a firecracker.

1240. Man, that performance,

1241. she was bouncing off the walls.

1242. - Tonight on the runway, she's 22 years old.

1243. This is a child.

1244. To have a reference like that,

1245. she's done her homework.

1246. - Maddy Morphosis and her guitar.

1247. - I appreciate the live guitar playing.

1248. That was pretty amazing to see.

1249. But the fact that Maddy

1250. was playing the guitar at the end with her tongue,

1251. and then didn't go to the side to show us,

1252. it didn't really happen then, did it?

1253. - And when you have an outfit that looks like, you know,

1254. Saint John's for H and R Block.

1255. But I don't want to chop her head off.

1256. - She already did.

1257. I loved Maddy's runway.

1258. I'm always one to say it's costumey.

1259. But it worked!

1260. - Angeria.

1261. - Angeria is one of my favorites, for sure.

1262. There's a spirit there that I really can connect to.

1263. There's a polish that feels very exciting.

1264. - Call me Angie, check.

1265. Stunning, check, check, check.

1266. Whatever it was, we were here for it.

1267. - Lady Camden.

1268. - Well Lady Camden did what I think

1269. we wanted Maddy Morphosis to do.

1270. Take the skillset,

1271. and then make it drag.

1272. - Lady Camden probably had

1273. the most technically difficult

1274. performance of the night.

1275. Not only was she doing ballet,

1276. she was doing it in stilettos,

1277. and that is one of the most difficult things.

1278. - And I loved the runway.

1279. I thought she looked like, you know, nobody else,

1280. totally individual.

1281. - I like Lady Camden.

1282. I'm excited to see more from her.

1283. Daya Betty.

1284. - She looked really cool.

1285. And her energy was good.

1286. But I thought it was really basic.

1287. - What I was getting was Crystal Methyd.

1288. So it felt like a Xerox copy of a Xerox copy.

1289. - But there's all this room for her to grow,

1290. so she could be that underdog that comes out

1291. and just shows everybody.

1292. So, we'll see where it goes.

1293. Silence.

1294. I've made my decision.

1295. Bring back my girls.

1296. Welcome back, ladies.

1297. I've made some decisions.

1298. Lady Camden.

1299. Jorgeous.

1300. You're safe.

1301. - Thank you so much.

1302. - Angeria.

1303. Polished, check.

1304. Glam, check.

1305. Talent, check.

1306. Con-drag-ulations.

1307. You're the winner of this week's challenge.

1308. You've won a cashier's check

1309. of $5000.

1310. - Oh!

1311. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

1312. - Jasmine Kennedie.

1313. You're safe.

1314. - Thank you.

1315. - Maddy Morphosis.

1316. We were head over heels for your runway look.

1317. While your guitar made us gently weep.

1318. DeJa Skye.

1319. We were cheering for you.

1320. But your jokes just didn't land.

1321. Daya Betty.

1322. You're a lovely queen,

1323. but you didn't get this party started.

1324. Maddy Morphosis,

1325. you're safe.

1326. You may join the other girls.

1327. - Thank you.

1328. - DeJa, Daya.

1329. I'm sorry, my dears,

1330. but you are up for elimination.

1331. - My confidence right now is just shaken.

1332. But when it comes down to it,

1333. I'm gonna fight tooth and nail to stay here.

1334. Bring it on.

1335. - Two queens stand before me.

1336. Prior to tonight,

1337. you were asked to prepare a lip sync performance

1338. of "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys.

1339. Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me,

1340. and save yourself from elimination.

1341. The time has come

1342. for you to lip sync

1343. for your life!

1344. - I just walked in the doors,

1345. and now I'm gonna have to lip sync

1346. to an Alicia Keys song,

1347. in front of Alicia Keys.

1348. - Good luck,

1349. and don't fuck it up.

1350. - Come on, Double D! - Yes!

1351. - Ladies.

1352. I've made my decision.

1353. DeJa Skye, shante you stay.

1354. Apparently there is a lip sync assassin among us.

1355. - Thank you so much.

1356. - You may join the other girls.

1357. Daya Betty.

1358. It might not feel like it right now,

1359. but this is just the beginning

1360. of the rest of your life.

1361. Now, sashay away.

1362. - I might not have gotten as far as I'd liked,

1363. but I had a great time and made some amazing sisters.

1364. I really appreciate each and every one of you,

1365. so thank you, thank you.

1366. - Well, shit.

1367. I'm definitely disappointed in myself.

1368. I know I have so much fucking more to offer.

1369. But life is gonna kick you down 99 times,

1370. but you gotta get up 100 and keep going.

1371. - Con-drag-ulations, ladies.

1372. Enjoy this moment,

1373. because six competitors will join you next week,

1374. ready to snatch the crown.

1375. And remember,

1376. if you can't love yourself,

1377. how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?

1378. Can I get an amen up in here?

1379. - Amen!

1380. - Alright, now let the music play!

1381. Next time on RuPaul's Drag Race.

1382. - Oh, there's other hoes.

1383. - We are throwing two fashion balls, darling.

1384. - I loved it.

1385. - I was enthralled.

1386. - This is a comp-e-tit-ion.

1387. Just when you think you know how the game is played.

1388. - Wait. - What?

1389. - Oh damn it.

1390. - Oh it's some bullshit.
